Elder Abuse Detection and Intervention: A Collaborative Approach by B. Brandl,C. B. Dyer,C. J. Heisler,M. J. Otto,L. A. Stiegel,and R. W. Thomas

Mediation has recently been developed in America to help seniors deal with their disputes. Some Long Term Care Ombudsmen and their volunteers have also been trained in mediation for use in institutional conflicts. This paper suggests that elder mediation, through its voluntary, non-coercive process, has the potential for enhancing elder rights, providing an acceptable form of minimal social intervention, and contributing to the prevention of elder abuse at early stages of relational conflicts between elders and their carers.

Most authors discuss sexual deviations (often called psychosexual abnormalities or perversions*¹) under the general heading of neuroses or personality disorders. There appears to be a general consensus among psychiatrists that sexual deviations are ways in which sexual gratification is obtained, mainly or exclusively, without penile-vaginal intercourse. It is felt that the primary aims of sexuality are pleasure and reproduction and that this, at some stage, ought to include coitus between a male and female. A new definition is proposed in Part II.
